    Desperate to return the alligator bag I searched the store for TOO LONG... Squeezing past groups of kids talking about what they want to be for Hallowe'en. I nearly walked out with nothing but thought I'd do a quick check of sportcoats and I found this wretched thing: It even has an extra...

    Since you're the resident exotic skins expert, I have one more question for you. Does alligator of this age become fragile? Or is it possible that I could break down the purse down and use it the skin as material? I STILL GOT THAT RECEIPT THO. Thanks for your insight.

    Speaking of purses... Is this this bag repairable? the leather has cracked in high stress areas like the strap. the inside is in pretty decent condition and the majority of the body is OK too.

    i would hesitate to call it 'diffusion' because its hardly more affordable. however it is a line focused on 'RO' classics and 'basics' leaning towards the sporty/casual side (not to be confused with Lilies which is a womens line focused on jersey fabric). thats a great find and it is definitely...

    fake dior shoes :( was so excited to find something that i bought without checking. they fit so i might keep for beaters. also Yang Li is very cool. not sure on resale value but he does some fantastic stuff and it's pretty rare.

    Is the tag visible from the back of the jacket (the black one)? Could potentially be SLAB by Rick Owens. Here is a comparison of the model # tag.

     it's not. it's a japanese mid-tier-ish label that produces english rocker kinda looking stuff (like old dior homme)

    Only because I wanna get on this 50s denim train I'm uploading these crappy pics of my recent military/prison issue 1955 work jacket (find). I always see GWG stuff but never old/good GWG stuff.

    This was probably a mistake to pick up ... not a common brand in North America. Size 36. Fits me but I'm not sure I'll wear it. Been DYING to get some calf hair shoes for some time now... And these are pleasantly ugly. (N/A) VW Anglomania oversized turtleneck...

     I can't remember the exact terminology but Lee used to use denim with fringed edges like that. It's more like the standard selvage on a bolt of fabric instead of the closed edge people are so fond of in vintage/'premium' denim. So maybe not exactly selvedge/selvage because it isn't woven...

    picked up this 'Big Horn' chore/work jacket... hardly any info on the brand. I assume it was just a manufacturer of labourers clothes at some time. This particular piece was made in my city which I thought was cool. Has some selvedge detailing on the cinches but nowhere else. Odd vintage pieces...

     you can just press it against the inside of your forearm... sensitive enough skin there for a hot/cold test and you're not putting anything to your face like a weirdo

    Strange SS shirt with mixed fabrics. From some random unknown Japanese (?) company. Thought it was stupid enough to wear. Was looking for a polo and saw this. Thought of SF. Does anyone know when this tag is from?
